Hi,

I'd like to suggest AuthX for inclusion in the next round...

Why AuthX?

The group's draft charter includes concepts, not in words but perhaps by
induction, from the realms of identity, authorization, and authentication.

1. The X in AuthX indicates that.
2. It's simple.
3. Avoids the unproductive conversations on the semantics of Transaction.
4. It indicates that the group is open to exploring all things X (known,
unknown) wrt identity, authorization, authentication.

No matter how narrow we try to scope the charter down, those are
inescapable and related concepts.

Witness the massive confusion thrust upon developers arising from OIDC and
OAuth2 specifications coming from two different organizations on concepts
that in my mind are inseparable from a systems perspective.

Specifications that are not self contained are confusing at minimum. And do
a disservice to the wider community at worst when they punt on something
fundamental and related as being out of scope.

If we are breaking from the past then it behoves upon us to not repeat the
mistakes from the past.
